Question

nope

anonymous · Answer

all elements in the d block hv only 2 electrons in the last orbital.(eg:-4s) . But they hv unfilled d orbitals so they hv more valance electrons

anonymous · Answer

No. d block elements need not necessarily have 2 electrons in there valence shells. The number of electron, and fro that matter protons, vary as we move from left to right in a period. D-block is just used to state that the differentiating electron enters into d-subshell.
